Saab J 105 OE

Development

In the 1960s SAAB developed a fast private jet for businessmen, which didn´t meet the civil market´s approval. Instead, the Swedish Air Force showed its interests to use this aircraft as a jet trainer and light fighter-bomber. The Swedish name for this plane is “Sk 60”. From 1969 to 1970 Austria bought 40 pieces of this type with the description “Saab J105 OE”.

The main difference between the Sk 60 and the SAAB J 105 OE are the much stronger General Electric J85-GE-17B engines, which have almost twice the power of the Williams-Rolls FJ44-1C engines of the Sk 60 (12.7kn compared to 8.25kn per engine).
